UBC CHEMO – AAAA+

How much does UBC Chemo cost?

The per-gram cost drops by about 33% between the eighth and the ounce, which is why most regular buyers step up to the larger weights. The ounce also clears our $150 free-shipping threshold on its own. If you want AAAA+ flower at the lowest possible per-gram cost, the ounce is the tier to look at.

Where does UBC Chemo come from?

Nobody can say for certain, and that is part of its appeal. Chemo is a genuinely rare strain with undocumented genetics — plenty of theories exist, none of them provable. The most repeated account credits a Dr. Suzuki with developing it at a Canadian university in the late 1960s or 1970s, which is where the UBC prefix attached itself.

What is not in dispute is that it has been circulating in Canada for decades and has kept a following the whole time, which is rare for a strain with no marketing behind it.

What kind of high is UBC Chemo?

Heavy and physical. This is a strain people reach for at the end of the day, not one to plan activities around — the reputation it has kept for fifty years is built on how thoroughly sedating it is.

If you are new to strong indicas, start with noticeably less than you would with a mid-range flower and give it time before adding more.

What does UBC Chemo smell and taste like?

Earthy and woody with a slightly medicinal, herbal edge. It is an old-school profile — no candy sweetness, no fuel — and it reads as distinctly different next to the dessert and gas strains that dominate the modern menu.

What AAAA+ actually means

AAAA+ sits at the top of the Canadian grading scale. It is a judgement about how the flower was grown, cured and trimmed rather than a lab number: dense, properly dried buds, hand-trimmed rather than machine-cut, a heavy trichome coat, and terpenes strong enough that you smell the jar before it is fully open. It is the difference between flower that was farmed carefully and flower that was farmed quickly. Our AAA vs AAAA guide walks through the whole scale.

How to store it

Keep it in an airtight glass jar, cool, dark and at roughly 55–62% relative humidity. Flower stored that way holds its terpenes and potency for months; flower left in a bag in a warm room dries out and goes harsh within weeks — and with AAAA+ the terpene profile is most of what you paid for, so it is worth protecting.
